Printhie Swift Blanc de Blancs 2010

The second disgorgement of the inaugural 2010 vintage. Straight chardonnay. A whopping 96 months on lees, with another disgorgement to follow. The equivalent of an extra-brut dosage, at least in French legal terms. This is good, if not burly. The conflation of cheese cloth-leesy richness, mineral-clad acidity and stone to citrus fruit scents, never over-loads. The frame of altitudinal confidence, conferring authority while corralling the billowing oomph. This will age into a rich, galumphing wine with plenty of charm. 92 Points.
